Fertility Treatment FAQ

Navigating fertility challenges can feel overwhelming, especially when facing complex medical terminology and treatment options that seem endless. Many couples and individuals find themselves with countless questions about fertility treatments, success rates, costs, and what to expect throughout their journey to parenthood.

At Chedid Grieco, we understand that knowledge empowers confident decision-making during one of life’s most important journeys. Our team, with 30 years of experience in reproductive medicine, believes that well-informed patients make the best treatment decisions. We provide comprehensive fertility treatments with personalized care, combining advanced Brazilian techniques with international licensing standards to help you achieve your dream of parenthood.

When Should Someone Consider Fertility Treatment?

Most medical professionals recommend seeking evaluation after one year of unsuccessful attempts to conceive naturally for women under 35, or after six months for women over 35. However, certain medical conditions may warrant earlier intervention. These include irregular menstrual cycles, known reproductive health issues, previous pregnancy complications, or male factor concerns.

Early consultation allows for proper diagnosis and timely intervention, which can significantly impact treatment success. Our fertility preservation services also help individuals planning for future parenthood by protecting their reproductive potential.

The fertility treatment spectrum includes several options, each addressing specific challenges. Ovulation induction uses medications to stimulate egg production in women with irregular cycles. Intrauterine insemination places prepared sperm directly into the uterus during ovulation, increasing the chances of fertilization.

In vitro fertilization represents the most comprehensive approach, involving egg retrieval, laboratory fertilization, and embryo transfer. Our clinic also offers the revolutionary INVITRO MATURATION technique, which allows egg retrieval without ovarian stimulation injections, eliminating the 10-12 day injection period and reducing patient discomfort significantly.

Egg donation provides hope for women who cannot use their own eggs due to various medical reasons. This process involves using eggs from carefully screened donors, which are then fertilized with the intended father’s sperm through in vitro fertilization.

Our clinic maintains one of the most comprehensive egg banks, featuring donors who undergo extensive medical and psychological screening. As an FDA-registered facility with New York State and California licenses, we can ship frozen eggs internationally, allowing patients to receive treatments either in Brazil or at partnering clinics in their home countries.

Success rates vary significantly based on multiple factors including age, underlying fertility issues, treatment type, and clinic experience. Younger women typically experience higher success rates, while specific medical conditions may require specialized approaches or multiple treatment cycles.

Our clinic’s 30-year experience and advanced laboratory techniques contribute to consistently strong outcomes. We focus on individualized treatment protocols rather than one-size-fits-all approaches, recognizing that each patient’s journey requires customized care. Our nearly 9,000 successful births demonstrate our commitment to helping families achieve their dreams.

The number of required cycles depends on individual circumstances and chosen treatments. Some couples achieve success with their first attempt, while others may need multiple cycles to reach their goals. Factors influencing cycle numbers include:

  • Age and overall health status
  • Specific fertility challenges identified
  • Response to initial treatments
  • Quality of eggs and sperm
  • Uterine environment factors

We provide realistic expectations based on comprehensive evaluation and maintain open communication throughout the process. Our team supports patients through multiple cycles when necessary, adjusting protocols based on previous responses and emerging insights.

Treatment costs vary widely depending on the specific procedures required, medication needs, and geographic location. International treatment options often provide significant cost savings while maintaining high-quality care standards. Our Brazilian location allows us to offer treatments at approximately half the cost of comparable US procedures, even accounting for travel expenses.

Many patients find that fertility tourism provides access to advanced treatments at more affordable prices. We work with various health plans and provide detailed cost estimates during initial consultations, helping patients make informed financial decisions about their treatment options.

How long does the typical treatment process take?

Treatment timelines depend on the specific procedures chosen and individual response patterns. Simple treatments like ovulation induction may require just a few weeks, while comprehensive IVF cycles typically take 4-6 weeks from start to finish. Some patients may need preparation time before beginning active treatment.

Our streamlined processes and international coordination help minimize delays and optimize timing for busy patients. We provide detailed timelines during consultation and maintain flexible scheduling to accommodate work and travel requirements.
